Interested Quotations | Page 4

We're interested and we're waiting for a proposal from Major League Baseball. It's not going to generate the kind of excitement that World Cup soccer does, given the history and the equity just isn't there yet. But at least for this country, anything with the America's pastime and the American flag is sure to be a winning combination.

We're interested and excited about the preservation of this property because of its historical value.

We?re in discussions with other interested parties ... to see what kind of solution we could come up with.

The NBA hasn't put a timetable on going to 30 (development league) teams yet. We're always on the lookout for markets that make sense and we try to fish out and see if there are any interested groups.

Where I come from, that type of act is treasonous. Conn-Selmer, they're not interested in the American workers any more.

We have to get these interest rate increases behind us and the Fed did hold off this last time, but I think there's still a possibility of another rate increase later in the year. And that's weighing on investor's minds. Earnings have slowed down a little bit. The interest rate increases to date have had an effect and we're seeing some earnings disappointments at some companies and that has investors concerned. But on the other hand, we have the mergers and acquisitions that tend to buoy up the prices in whatever sectors affected from one day to the next and that will keep investors interested in stocks certainly.

We have a son that plays for one of the schools. I'm very interested in men's basketball.

Whenever you have people in the community knowing that all the professional athletes are interested in the community and not just here part-time, that they care, I think it helps. And I think it helps that the Devil Rays are here for Spring Training and the regular season.

Whenever we run the ball that gives us an aggressiveness. It gets those safeties really interested in what's going on up front. If we can (draw) those guys up, our receivers are going to have a field day out there.

We want everybody to come. It's a wonderful place to bring your family or your youth group. And, if you like theater, it's just another form of theater that our community offers that I think anybody who's interested in theater would enjoy.
